[The course of trichinosis in patients with superinvasion opisthorchiasis]. 2004

G G Krylov

An analysis of the clinical course of trichinosis in the presence of superinvasion opisthorchiasis is indicative of the prognostic value of the time course of changes in eosinophilia in patients: its gradual amelioration during a complex treatment suggests that there is a positive tendency for recovery from the disease; a drastic fall in the level of eosinophils is constantly accompanied by a more severe course of parasitic cenosis with inflammatory complication and a possible fatal outcome. In trichinosis concurrent with superinvasion opisthorchiasis, myocarditis constantly develops at weeks 3-4 of the onset of nematodosis. Prior myocardial changes (focal and diffuse cardiosclerosis) should be considered to be a complication due to superinvasion opisthorchiasis. Trichinosis accompanied by Opisthorchis invasion substantially deteriorates the course of the underlying disease, chronic alcoholic intoxication exalts the course of parasitic cenosis.

D009205 Myocarditis Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies. Carditis,Myocarditides

D012598 Sclerosis A pathological process consisting of hardening or fibrosis of an anatomical structure, often a vessel or a nerve. Scleroses
D014235 Trichinellosis An infection with TRICHINELLA. It is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat that is infected with larvae of nematode worms TRICHINELLA genus. All members of the TRICHINELLA genus can infect human in addition to TRICHINELLA SPIRALIS, the traditional etiological agent. It is distributed throughout much of the world and is re-emerging in some parts as a public health hazard and a food safety problem.
